[HTML][HTML] Ajuba functions as a histone deacetylase-dependent co-repressor for autoregulation of the growth factor-independent-1 transcription factor

Growth factor independent-1 (Gfi1) is a zinc finger protein with a SNAG-transcriptional
repressor domain. Ajuba is a LIM domain protein that shuttles between the cytoplasm and
the nucleus. Ajuba functions as a co-repressor for synthetic Gfi1 SNAG-repressor domain-
containing constructs, but a role for Ajuba co-repression of the cognate DNA bound Gfi1
protein has not been defined. Co-immunoprecipitation of synthetic and endogenous proteins
and co-elution with gel filtration suggest that an endogenous Ajuba· Gfi1· HDAC multiprotein …
